Estonia’s Student Capital Tartu

January 14, 2010

Tartu is a student town, during summer break, it’s almost empty as everyone goes home (or travelling) for the holidays. Any other time, it’s full of students. Think of it as Estonia’s college town.

Students like to drink, irrespective of the day of the week. We went out on a Wednesday night and called it quits at six in the morning.

Chinese food in Tartu, is far from authentic, despite the Chinglish sign.

Tartu also has trees.

 

Tartu has a toy museum, showing a history of toys in the country over the past few hundred years. Do you see anything wrong with the following?

The white boy and girl dolls are dressed in fine clothes and sit leisurely. The black doll is dressed like a hotel bellboy and has to stand in the corner.

The second floor has a fifty years of Barbie exhibition, 80s Barbie TV ads are… interesting.

My favourite toy is drunk Guatemalan: A drunk skeleton wearing a pointy hat and holding a bottle of tequila. He was next to a voodoo doll, but I didn’t dare take a photo of him, for fear of a curse.

Greek priest doll is pretty cool though.
